I was driving my 2018 kia Sedona on [xxx]. I had all 4 of my kids with me in the van, I heard a click, click, click, then the car went dark, in the middle of the road no warning nothing. There was no light or anything that came on as a warning. It just died. It was scary to go through that with my kiddos. We are devastated as the car is only 6yrs old and it wont work at all. Had it towed to my local auto shop. They said the engine is defective and needs to be replaced. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
I have the air bag indicator light and the diagnostic codes consistent with NHTSA campaign number 19v109, kia recall number sc175. The recall mentions the wiring harness being damaged and my harness is damaged, with two wires severed. However, because my vehicle was manufactured 2 months after the recall cutoff date, kia believes this recall does not pertain to my vehicle. I believe otherwise.
My daughter was driving my kia Sedona van - distracted and on wet roads ran into a firehydrant and pole. During the accident, the air bags did not employ. The passenger fell forward and broke the windshield with her head, leading to a concucussion. We are thankful for two children who are alive after this accident. We are disappointed tho that the airbags didnt protect our child more.
Our 2018 kia Sedona sxl caught on fire in the engine compartment while driving. It almost killed my wife (driver) and my 4 year old son. Car had been driven only 2 blocks after picking up my son from daycare. The car started to produce black smoke incessantly from the engine compartment that made visibility almost impossible. Bystandards were waving with their arms up and trying to warn my wife and she managed to stop in a parking lot and run away with my son. Car got very hot. Despite of keeping regular maintenance, car has had a myriad of issues: electrical components going off and not working anymore (cruise control, rear view camera, navigation system), booming sound from air conditioner like an old airplane is inside the cabin. . Etc. There were no warning lights suggesting any problem before car caught on fire. Please help.
2018nkia sadona having issues starting up after sitting over night get in try to start no start but lights on dash turn on engine no crank. After doing on and off lock unlock it tends to start . . Cannot check what's going on due to intermitting issues over long periods of time. Its not all the time some times.
Radio and rear camera not working.
Vehicle dies if not driven for 5-6 days. I believe this is related to an electrical issue in the passenger side sliding door as this does not happen if you don't use the sliding door. Potentially related to recall 18v338000. Vehicle has had 3 new batteries, so not an issue with the battery. Vehicle died at the dealership after being parked without use for 5 days. Dealership cannot diagnose issue, and says the answer is to drive the van every day. Vehicle has been to dealership 3 times for this issue without a resolution.
